Golden Chain Bk 2 (aquinas Library Book 9)

The Golden Chain, was compiled by one of the Catholic Church’s greatest minds, it has been an immeasurable use to priests writing homilies, lay people engaged in private or family study or of the Gospels and religious instructors will find it an invaluable help in preparing lessons. It is the perfect companion to study the Scriptures in detail and receive the wisdom of Thomas on particular passages.
Consider the Golden Chain as a discussion of the Gospels among the supreme theologians of the Church. Their exegesis is astonishing! A worthy recommendation for the serious student of the Bible for this work is the only work that Aquinas was known to carry around with him.
Thomas Aquinas was commissioned to write the Golden Chain by Pope Urban IV, in order that an orthodox Patristic commentary on the Gospels was readily available to all readers. John Henry Newman, was responsible for its translation into English in 1841. Cardinal Newman hoped that the Catena would become a source of catechesis within the family and the Church. The Golden Chain is one of the jewels of the 19th century Catholic Restoration, making the scholarship of the Fathers available to a wider audience. As with many of our texts we have employed a more sober, edited edition into a 21st century, modern, yet dignified style of American English, which is eminently suitable to the unsurpassable mysteries of the Catholic Faith.
This is Bk. 2 on Mathew.
